Fri, Mar 13th

Yes, Friday the thirteenth again. I had no fears about this being an unlucky day. This has been an unlucky year so far, so one day wasn't going to make any difference. However, I do have a cold now. But I can assure you this is the last of my concerns with Dad back in hospital again.

Today was also Red Nose Day in the UK. Every two years the entertainment industry in the UK leads the country by example in laughing at itself and raising money for charity. So far, despite the credit crunch, over £54 million has been raised. This was up a third on the previous record two years ago.
